Coconut oil is a great food to add for yeast control because it naturally contains capric acid and lauric acid, which promote gut health. these anti-fungal fatty acids kill yeast overgrowth and replication by poking holes in its cell wall, causing them to die off. capric acid, otherwise known as caprylic acid, is fast and effective at eliminating yeast overgrowth.
